Record shows that this encounter has always been a high scoring one and nothing less is expected today when the two sides lock horns in the 7PM clash. Gor will be welcoming back fresh legs in Burundian Abu Sibomana, Rwandans Nzigiyimana and Meddie Kagere who were not part of Gor’s continental football squad due to late registration, the trio have been very influential for the champions in league matches.
Meddie Kagere so far boasts of two assists and two goals and his partnership with Michael ‘Midusa’ Olunga will be relied upon to deliver the crucial goals. Gor has maintained a perfect start to the season winning all their last three fixtures with a margin of at least two goals and this encounter is expected to be an easy one for K’Ogalo; a win for Gor will propel them back to the table summit.
KCB on the other hand will be praying for redemption after going down 1-0 at home against Chemelil in their last fixture, the task will be a huge one for the bankers as they will also be up against the Gor’s 12th man, the passionate ‘green army’. KCB are placed third from bottom in the KPL table with just 3 points from 4 matches, a win will see them jump to 13th position.
Muhoroni Youth Vs Sofapaka
